Date: 7/15/23 22:38 (UTC)Start with something that cooks quickly. [He uses his chopsticks to pick up a cabbage leaf and then inserts it (and a few more) into the pot.][Here he uses the chopsticks resting beside the thin slices of raw meat to pick up a slice and then sticks it in the pot.] Keep a hold of it and swish it back and forth in the pot. [Hence the shabu-shabu name (for swish swish) of the dish.] Take it out when it's cooked how you like it.
[With that, Bakugou pulls the meat out, taps the chopsticks on the side of the pot to get the drippings off back into the stock, and then offers the cooked slice to Shinsou.] Here. The longer something's in the pot, the more stock flavor it soaks up.
[It's not like Bakugou's an intelligent guy or anything... Kitchen talent... Nerd.]
the sero player and i finished s6...we are in tears now orz
Date: 7/16/23 01:39 (UTC)It's amusing to him to see how much the blonde knows about cooking and food. It's a small peak into just how much of a nerd his boyfriend is, more than people really seem to realize.
After the first bite, Shinsou waits his turn until Bakugou has gotten some before he grabs another slice of beef as well as a slice of cabbage. ]
Definitely a good choice, the broth is really good.
damn, i'm jelly. i'm waiting for the complete season bluray, so i'm not gonna see it for years...
Date: 7/16/23 02:20 (UTC)On top of the entertainment and feeling of "success" cooking your own food, the rhythmic swishing in the broth and the lazy exercise of doing so really helps make everything taste better. It's interactive and chatting while you do something is a little better than chatting while you sit and just wait for your food.
Bakugou's obviously done this before, since he knows when to put the ingredients in staggered to let them all finish to the degree he wants at the same time. The pot's big enough for both of them to cook their food at the same time
... which probably means at some point there's going to be a chopstick war.]
Yeah, I like this flavor. Last time I came here, it was a bit weaker, so they've used it more since then.
THIS GOT LOST IN MY TAGS I THOUGHT I DID IT!!!
Date: 8/20/23 10:27 (UTC)Looking up from his food Shinsou listens with a nod. ]
Are they one of those places that just like...continue using the same brother and add more as it goes down? One of those, flavor builds over time sort of things? That's cool.
[ It's definitely different but he can appreciate the dedication and work that goes into making something that tastes this good, even with the heat to it. Something that surprisingly isn't too much for the violet haired teen. ]
no problem! been there and done that before, phht
Date: 8/21/23 19:58 (UTC)But Shinsou's someone who gets to see this side of the explosive blonde. Quieter, calmer, some of that knowledgeable nerd showing through his usual front.]
Yeah. It's called a master stock. They try to keep the same type of flavor at least: fish, seafood, poultry, vegetable, instead of boiling everything in anything.
[That'd just make a flavorful mess that would have little distinction between themselves. Hard to market uniqueness when there is none. Bakugou swishes a few pieces of meat and cabbage leaves together in the broth, then pulls out once they're good, hot, and dripping.]
Other places let you grill at the table.
I'm alive I swear--
Date: 9/10/23 20:27 (UTC)[ Nodding Shinsou listened intently and ate his food, watching Katsuki before copying the other when he had a chance to grab some of his own. The heat definitely compacted over time but it was still pretty good, not as bad as he might have been afraid of dealing with something Katsuki wanted. ]
Oh yeah, I've been to a place like that once. It's pretty fun and the meat was really good.
Welcome back~
Date: 9/12/23 05:29 (UTC)Katsuki doesn't coddle Hitoshi's first time, though he doesn't fight him for pot space or ingredients either. Sometimes they swish together in the pot, other times it's one in and one out. They rest of their order comes out before they're done with the first wave, so that definitely helps spice up the variety of what they've got.
Yeah, he avoided getting the bombastic spice, leaving this broth with a mild heat and plenty of flavor. It's more temperature hot than spicy hot.]
Find out the name and we'll go again.
[He's curious to see how well Hitoshi grills.]
no subject
Date: 9/20/23 11:12 (UTC)[ Shinsou can't help teasing the blonde, it's so easy. Besides it's not like Shinsou was against the idea, if he was he wouldn't have been there for the first date. Or we would have objected more to Katsuki calling him the blonde's boyfriend. It was interesting to know that Bakugou of all people took something like dating so seriously, but then again maybe it was something Shinsou should have expected. They guy was 0-100 about a lot of things so why not this?
He didn't play around with people and it was something that Hitoshi appreciated. ]
Yeah, I'll see if I can get it from Hizashi.
no subject
Date: 9/20/23 18:51 (UTC)[Tch, what'd he look like, a one and done kind of guy? He wouldn't have even agreed to this if he wasn't interested in Hitoshi long term. Katsuki's not a shallow person despite his abrasive personality. Still, admitting that just now was more or less admitting... he wants a second date.
So yeah. Time to shove some meat in his mouth and find the pot extremely fascinating for a few seconds. Not like he's hot in the face or anything. That's just the steam from the simmering broth. Shut up.
This time, he adds a cabbage leaf, a strip of beef, two potato slices, and after some cooking, takes them out and rolls the the last two into the former for a steaming bite.]
Good. See if they take reservations too.
no subject
Date: 10/17/23 08:14 (UTC)[Shinsou sighed, scratching at the back of his neck after putting his chopsticks down. ]
Just...don't be surprised if I come off as...I don't know....surprised that you actually want to go out.
[He doesn't talk about it, doesn't really wanna bring the mood down about the fact that relationships rarely end well for him. He's always waiting for the other person to leave him, he doesn't know what to expect and that scares him. It's nice that Bakugou seems interested for now but how long will that last? How long before he gets bored with Hitoshi? Before he gets tired of the guy even?
That being said that doesn't mean he's not gonna use this time while he has Bakugou's interest to the fullest. He will most definitely be asking Hizashi where it was they had gone so he could put in a reservation. He wants to be the one to take the other out this time.
As a way to sort of avoid talking more, Shinsou does much the same as the blonde. Cooking up some meat and enoki before wrapping them in cabbage. Anything to not start talking more than he really needed to be. ]
no subject
Date: 10/18/23 00:55 (UTC)How long are you gonna stay surprised?
[It's obvious that Bakugou's not only accepted going out with Shinsou, but also wants to. Enough to go on a second date as well. He's never really been one to think about relationships, considering things like dating or boy/girlfriends distractions from his studies and heroics. Yet here he is, sitting across from a boy he wants to be around in a restaurant having an actual date. No studies or heroics involved.
He can already guess the reason why Shinsou said what he did. Being surprised someone wants to date him. Likely doubtful of people's intentions towards him. Or feelings. It irks him slightly, but considering Shinsou's past and how people always viewed him with wary eyes, said what they thought was "better" for him, the guy's left feeling surprised he's attractive, valued, wanted. Fucking annoying...
Bakugou lays a few more pieces on the grill, understanding Shinsou didn't want to talk about this topic more than necessary. It's not like the blonde likes getting into these "feelings" things either. But at the same time, he's not one to back down from a challenge. Even if that's someone else's self doubts.]
Tch. Doesn't matter. I'll turn that surprise into acceptance. Watch me.
no subject
Date: 11/8/23 20:06 (UTC)Because shit like that is hard to overcome and he's sure that by the time he starts to, Bakugou will change his mind. Shinsou's own insecurities will get to be too much and Bakugou won't want them holding him back and he'll leave. It's something that while he hates, Shinsou feels is inevitable so he'll just make the most of the time he does have with the blonde.
But then Bakugou says what he says and Shinsou can't help the grin that pulls at his lips. It's small but it's there and it's genuine. Trust Bakugou to be stubborn. ]
I'll just have to take your word for it.
[ He needs to change the subject...now. ]
So, what time is the movie showing?
no subject
Date: 11/8/23 21:02 (UTC)There are things Bakugou deals with that won't ever go away either. Despite his maturity and growth, he'll always have that fragile pride and inferiority/superiority complex, even if they're both improving. Guilt, stubborn, regrets, he's had to accept he's not perfect. But when Bakugou sets his mind on something, there's extremely few things that can get him to stop.
None of those things are Shinsou's doubts. So he says what he says without a shred of question. It's a demand and Shinsou better sit down and brace for it. Cause that's gonna happen whether he believes it or not.]
We got another hour. [Said after he checks the time real quick.] The theater is ten minutes from here.
[Advertisements and trailers are a thing too, so they have a fair window.]
no subject
Date: 11/8/23 21:53 (UTC)So he'll take that stubbornness gratefully. ]
Cool.
[ He checks his watch as well before proceeding to stuff more food into his face, glad that the silence that follows doesn't have to be classified as 'awkward'. He's pretty content, even if he's still trying to come to terms with what the blonde had been saying about sticking around and making Shinsou realize that he was what? Desirable? ]
no subject
Date: 11/8/23 22:47 (UTC)Hitoshi is a hero. He saw that even more in the Joint Training. Kind, logical, intelligent, stubborn, competitive, realistic, adaptable, determined. He really came into his own.
And adding that muscle to bulk up didn't hurt him either. Damn. A body on top of his looks.
Bakugou layers up another meat/vegetable combo and pops it in. The restaurant's steady flow of their different ingredients kept the grill cooking and the food in variety. It's why he likes these places; you're not stuck with an awkward silence so much, since there's something to keep you busy and focus on if things simmer down.
Yes, Shinsou. You're desirable.]
no subject
Date: 11/11/23 09:33 (UTC)The food is an incredibly good distraction, however, it tastes good and smells amazing. Even the spicier stuff that Bakugou grabs smells fantastic. It's easy to get distracted when there's good food and a good looking guy across from him. So he doesn't even worry when he's setting about making himself something of meat wrapped in cooked cabbage with a chili oil.
Definitely good food. He really needed to tell Aizawa about this place. It's after a little while that he finally sits back, chopsticks down and instead just drinks his tea. Way too full to continue. At first he thinks about trying to start some small talk but in the end decides against it in favor of just resting his chin on his hand, watching the blonde instead. ]
no subject
Date: 11/11/23 21:01 (UTC)Luckily their order wasn't beyond their stomachs and Bakugou ends up being the one to finish the last pieces left in the bowls while Shinsou settles back to sip his tea. He's unwilling to veer too far into the "hurt me" round when it comes to food, but taking things home isn't usually permitted in a grill like this. Bakugou indicates the check as the grill's clicked off and spends the remaining time polishing off his final cooks on the proverbial coals.
No need to start a conversation. They've had heavy enough. He reviews the ticket, judges it correct, pays for the meal with his card, and folds the receipt into his wallet to be processed later against his credit. Then it's gathering their things and getting out of the booth without banging a knee on the setup beneath.] Where'd you learn to cook?
[He noticed Shinsou wasn't bad at handling his food on the grill. Didn't burn things or slop them around the rim. Elements that someone wasn't a novice in the kitchen.]
no subject
Date: 11/13/23 08:47 (UTC)Hm? Oh...I mean I just sort of watched stuff online or on tv and kinda...taught myself?
[ He knows the basics and while he might not be able to make some five star meal, he can fend for himself. Always had until more recently. He knows more than he lets on, but it's not a passion or anything. It can just be fun, even more so when he can impress friends...or he would like to eventually do something like that. He's getting there since the sports festival and more people being more open and understanding with him. ]
no subject
Date: 11/13/23 19:38 (UTC)Guess we can cook in when you spend the night.
[Generally Bakugou likes to handle the food he's making for himself in the kitchen, rarely letting anyone else help or much less cook for him. His own perfectionism and pride get in the way. But judging what Shinsou could do on the grill made him feel far more willing to acknowledge his boyfriend's culinary aptitude, so hence the invite to cook alongside Bakugou when they're together. It's a rare offering he hardly gives anyone else who hasn't proved themselves.
And if it's with Shinsou... he's glad. Spending time with him is a comfort Bakugou doesn't really voice, but enjoys all the same.]
no subject
Date: 1/1/24 22:13 (UTC)Keep tellin' yerself that blasty.
But really, that's one of the things that Shinsou likes about Bakugou. He doesn't show his full hand and he's definitely not openly affectionate with many...if any. ]
Oh? Yeah that could be fun. Dinner and just hanging out and watching something?
[ To be fair, Shinsou would still probably mostly stay out of Bakugou's way. He knows how Mic can get with his spaces and he doubts Bakugou is much better. That being said that isn't to say he wouldn't still be happy to spend time with the other in said kitchen. ]
no subject
Date: 1/2/24 18:55 (UTC)Shut up.
Shinsou likewise has traits that Bakugou admires. His pride and determination, his growing skill and non-buddy-buddy attitude. His quiet affection despite being passionate about things he likes. They compliment each other well.]
Yeah. As long as it's not something boring or stupid.
[Bakugou's a prickly guy unless he actively wants someone to be around him. Then the spikes retract because that's what he decided and it's not seen as an invasion. Shinsou's work at the grill earned him that much. He'll be fine. Bakugou can work around someone if he has to. He doesn't think Shinsou's going to trip him up.
Plus more time spent with him, so yeah. Double win.]
no subject
Date: 1/6/24 07:31 (UTC)[ It was an obvious tease, one that Shinsou hoped actually landed of course. ]
Other than that I don't care what we watch...something tells me you'll loose concentration on it about half way through?
[ Or Shinsou himself might fall asleep. But who could blame him? Watching movies in his boyfriends room? Definitely sounds like the best way to let himself nod off for once. Maybe he'd even get to use Bakugou as a pillow if he's lucky. ]
no subject
Date: 1/6/24 23:57 (UTC)[Rawr at the very suggestion! Definitely a landed tease, considering watching All Might documentaries would be their classmate's date suggestion, wouldn't it. Midoriya and his overbearing nerdiness fanboying nature.
... thought it's not like Bakugou doesn't have All Might documentaries recorded and/or lined up on download to watch. No, they'll watch something cool, like an action or a thriller or maybe even a heist film if it's got some bursts of adrenaline. Bakugou likes to get pumped during a movie.]
Urusei. I'm not going to pick out something that I'll get bored with.
[That said, there are other reasons Bakugou would lose concentration on something. Like being seated next to his boyfriend in close proximity. Then again, if it's late, odds are they might just nod off next to each other. He wouldn't entirely mind either way.]
no subject
Date: 4/21/24 08:39 (UTC)[ No he's not pushing the envelope and calling it cute, even if that's what it would actually be. ]
You might not get bored but I might get too comfortable. I'll have to make sure I don't nod off.
no subject
Date: 4/22/24 21:19 (UTC)[Cue a stink eye towards Shinsou for even suggesting the idea. Though he will certainly defend All Might and other important topics with aggressive threats/effective counters if he feels the urge to.
Including Shinsou. Which he has done once or twice. The opposer didn't survive.]
Damn. Not like I'd ever want you to sleep next to me.
[The mock drone he runs that out with gives all the clarity needed.]
I can carry your sleeping ass to bed without waking you.
